By all means I dont think any is say the Cobras are POS's but for what you probley owe on ur ride vs a newer car and power vs power ud loose getting a newer ride. Take money and mod the Camaro

Well Michael I dont know about best bang for the buck! If your only talking about modding then yes but if you include the car then no.

And for the people claiming that termi's run mid to low 12's while LS1 camaro's running mid to low 13's. You are somewhat right if you pick the best driver for the Termi and a average driver for the LS1.

Realistically you will not see that many people running mid to low 12's in a termi, just like you wont see that many people running mid high 12's in a F-body.

Bottom line is get what you like better because both cars can be fast!

P.S. The driver is a part of racing which can make up for the difference in the little hp advantage that the Term has.

Well, I was wondering how long it was going to take to bring the argument into the thread. Thats one of the dumbest arguments you can make...hands down. Thats on par with ricers hp/L argument.

Stock for Stock with equal drivers Camaro or T/A will LOSE
Stock for stock C5 ZO6 will win against an 03/04 Cobra.
After you start throwing mods on either it's anybodies game

Bottom line...If you don't respect an 03/04 Cobra...you've never raced one

Does anybody use the search button anymore? I know I've seen MANY MANY posts about this.

Dumb post.


Keep upping the boost on each one also and see which one goes boom first.

Termi's are built for boost, LS1/2..............not so much.

A LS1 can be modded well to keep up with a modded Cobra. However a S/C is not the safe or efficent way to do it.


I knew someone would throw out that dumb comment and you sir took the prise.

yea this has been discussed millions of times on here. And for the people who said car and driver rates these cobras as low 13 second cars. Well car and driver also rates F bodies as running 13.5's and ive seen more then one F body get low 13's to high 12's. But yea its stupid, who says "ill race you ONLY if your stock"

walker94z28

Just save the 10 grand diffirence in sticker price and put a super charger on an ls1 and see what happens or who wins. If you compare an adder car to a NA car then I would burn the damn ford if it couldnt out run a NA car. However, put a charger, turbo, or nitrous on a ls1 and then ask the same question.

Thats true for a STOCK cobra, but add 600 Dollars in mods and it will hang/beat a turbo/supercharged LS1. And with 600 bux the cobra is pushin over 500 to the wheels.

Looking only at performance- It'll run 11's realiably for $25,000 and almost no work.

To make an F-body run 11's reliably you're looking at full-bolt ons, and a decent cam, maybe a set of heads as well. You will also need a new rear end and a clutch or a built 4L60E. Add that all up and you're looking at about $20,000 more or less- assuming your F-body is an 02 (closest in age to terminators) and has similar mileage to a $24,000 Cobra.

With the Cobra you're paying about $5,000 morefor the pure speed. Almost everything else is subjective, only you can decide.

youngrigo

I dont think $600 is going to get you over 500rwhp sorry buddy! O and $600 dollers could get a LS1 over 500rwhp. Nitrous = LS1's best freind

This thread gives me a headache.

There are several of us here that have owned both cars...and we're
telling you that a Cobra is faster with both cars in stock trim. There
is no arguing that. It's fact. However, not all drivers and conditions
are equal, which is why fbodies win some and lose some to Cobras.

youngrigo

Now I don’t now everything about Termi's so let me see if I have this right. We all know that when making a lot of power with an F-body that you might / will have to change your rear end, clutch, etc. But what im getting out of this is that nothing else will have to be done to a term? No rear brackets to stiffen the IRS in those cars because I thought that they have wheel hope problems that could bust your IRS when launching? Will the clutch handle all that power? I think when making a lot of power with any car the drive terrain will have to be updated. But I may be wrong

Half shafts are the weak link. They do make IRS braces for Cobras but they are unecessary obv when switching to a solid rear.

walker94z28

Exactly, my LS1 with headers, stall, and an underdrive with a dry shot went 10.88 on a stock 10 bolt on a drag radial. Add you some headers, pulley, and show me a cobra that will go that fast.

Dont get me wrong, cobra's are fast. But throw a shot on a stock ls1 and there you go for alot less.

Mine went 12.7@113 stock... There are some on svtperformance that have run 12.4-12.6 stock.. And there a few in the 11's with the stock upper and lower pulley. Deffentially fast cars and the outcome between a stock SS and cobra would be about 2-3 cars in favor of the cobra

How often do both cars racing have drivers with the same exact skill and make the perfect run everytime? Rarely. Streetfire videos and street races in general will usually see results that don't always add up on paper.

its not that difficult to mod your ls1 to be just as fast...

Well of course the Cobra is faster, but it isn't that much faster STOCK FOR STOCK. All you guys keep saying "cobras SMOKE ls1's" etc...WELL NO ****, but they are pullied etc...


People don't know WTF stock means. I have guys tell me at the drag strip their "Bone stock 302" run's 7's in the 1/8 mile. When in reality it's H/C/I. lol
